The Breathing Bud is exactly that, a buddy that will help with your breathing. It’s a concept that gives you a visual look at the air quality in your home using pretty colors. It was designed to look like a plant bud, even though it more closely resembles rabbit ears.

Vents at the base suck in the air for analysis. A blue bud means good quality air, while pink means not so good. Or as Aerosmith might say, the rabbit done died. The Breathing Bud is connected via USB to your computer, where it will transfer it’s data.

You know how it is, sometimes you just want to check the air quality immediately around your personal space. Happens all the time, I’m sure. We’ve all been there. Whether someone let one rip, or you suspect foul chemicals in the air.(They’re kinda the same thing) Anyway, soon you may be able to check your airspace by using your phone as the Interzone is designed by Alistair Bramley to do just that. The idea is that it would be an add-on for phones.

The Interzone would let you know when you can breath easy and when you should be wearing a Haz-Mat suit. As with all technology it can be used for good or evil and in between. And by in between, I mean that a room containing two morons who might normally light their farts will now consult their phones to see which one of them is more silent but deadly.
